Parents Council Project

The NHS Parents Council focuses primarily on raising funds to support the current Parents Council Project. Each project typically requires two years to complete and is designed to enhance the student learning environment through the improvement and expansion of facilities, technology, simulation, and research opportunities.

The following are a few of the projects that the NHS Parents Council has helped develop and support through strategic planning and fundraising.

Patient Simulator

State-of-the-art full-body, computerized mannequin that can realistically replicate physiological conditions and symptoms and pharmacological responses. This simulator provides unmatched opportunities for clinical skills development in a controlled environment.

Discovery Center

A 3,000 square foot teaching laboratory and research space for use by NHS undergraduate students and faculty.

Situation Room and Experiential Learning Model (Current Project)

Expanding NHS’ current simulation technology through the development of simulated scenarios, real time monitoring, crisis information systems, and simulated clinics.
